Description
Springer Integrating the Organization of Health Services Worker Wellbeing and Quality of Care Towards Healthy Healthcare 1st Editon 2021 Hardbound by Lise Tevik Løvseth, Annet H. de Lange
This book introduces the concept of ‘healthy healthcare’ and posits that this new concept is necessary in light of a shortage of healthcare staff in the near future. Healthy healthcare implies that healthcare systems are designed, managed and financed in balance with the available resources to improve workers’ health and performance. Ultimately, a balanced perspective taking into account the patient, the staff and the complex healthcare system will lead to a more resource-efficient delivery of high-quality healthcare services.The book synthesizes evidence-based practice and research on the links between healthcare services, employee health and wellbeing, and quality of healthcare from an interdisciplinary perspective. Written by leading experts in this rapidly expanding field of inquiry, this is the first book ever compiled on the subject with such scope and breadth. It discusses how to conduct interventions and research on healthy healthcare with different populations and settings. The chapters critically examine the links between these pillars; and identify research gaps in both methodology and content from the perspectives of psychology, medicine, nursing, economy, law, technology, management and more. This innovative book is of interest to researchers and students of health sciences, public health, health economics and allied disciplines, as well as to stakeholders in the healthcare industry.Chapter 24 of this book is available open access under a CC-By NC-ND 4.0 license at link.springer.com Part I Healthy Healthcare: An initial orientation on the integrated focus on Health care organizations, the employees and patients.- Chapter 1: Introduction Lise Lovseth & Annet de Lange.- Chapter 2 Concepts and definitions of Healthy Healthcare : Lise Lovseth.- Chapter 3 Quality of Care.- Chapter 4 Employee health and wellbeing: Marit Christensen & Annet de Lange.- Chapter 5 Organizational Interventions in Healthcare: process evaluation Karina Nielsen.- Part II: The interdisciplinary foundations of evidence based research and practice of Healthy Healthcare.- Chapter 6 Healthy Healthcare from a labour-economic perspective: Masood Gheasi & Annet de Lange.- Chapter 7 Beneficial or unhelpful?
